Nothing to laugh at here.
AS the Telsa power superchrgers put ot 170kW, I would like to see all of
them charging Teslas, the is about 17MW.
Also at the bottom of the article
"Musk has also been taken to task for his solar promises. Energy expert
Alex Epstein ran a fact check on Musk’s claim that we could power the
world with a small area of the Sahara Desert and “some batteries.”
Epstein calculated that enough battery storage to create a reliable
grid would cost $590 trillion for the batteries alone. It doesn’t
include the cost of all the transmission infrastructure. And the
batteries would have to be replaced every decade. "
Unquote
So the batteries will cost about $600 Trillion (US) dollars. and we have the
10 year battery life time being metioned again.
Certainly interesting figures.
